Come on, that's a fantastic signing. He's playing great. There was no D available to sign for free.vic wrote: ↑Mon Dec 03, 2018 10:04 amMatthews will get a comparable to McJesus - percentage wise - he'll get at least 13, if not more if the cap rises
Marner, yeah 10 sounds right
$47 mill on 5 forwards, leaves them with 36 if the cap goes up to, say 83 next year, or about 2 mil per player to round off their roster with only 2 proven NHL dmen signed.
This is where Marleau's contract sucks ass and why they should have either traded Nylander for some d-help or not signed Tavares and used that money towards a defenceman or two.
Edit - going to be interesting to see how Laine and Matthews contract situations work out - are they each going to wait for the other to sign?
Jets are just as fucked up - if not more.
Matthews/Tavares/Kadri on the ice every second in a 7 game series. It will be very tough to beat.
